Loyal Manor Chapter – Royal Arch
The Loyal Manor Chapter forms an important and enriching part of the Masonic journey, meeting under the banner of the Supreme Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of England and working in close harmony with Craft Freemasonry under the United Grand Lodge of England.
Often described as the continuation or completion of the journey begun in the Craft, the Royal Arch Freemasonry offers members the opportunity to further explore the teachings, symbolism, and traditions of Freemasonry in a unique and meaningful way.
What is the Royal Arch?
The Royal Arch builds upon the foundations established in Craft Masonry, offering deeper insight into its principles and messages. Through its distinctive ceremonies, it encourages reflection, understanding, and personal development, while maintaining the same strong emphasis on friendship, integrity, and charity.
Members of the Chapter — known as Companions — enjoy a welcoming and supportive environment, where learning and participation are encouraged, and where lasting friendships continue to grow.
